Re: FM 7.1 compatibility
FM generally will work fine with Acrobat X, but SaveAs PDF won't work from within FM because the location of the Acrobat files have changed over the last three releases. Probably way past time to upgrade FM to the current release too, especially if you want to import those Office 2010 docs cleanly Art Art Campbell art.campb...@gmail.com ...

Re: FM 7.1 Compatibility
Strange. I find importing Visio files as OLE objects (from Visio 2000 to FM 7.2) to work just fine. When I try to FileInsertFile (by reference) it doesn't recognize the Visio file format, and Visio is not in the list. Perhaps my version of Visio is too old. Regards, Shmuel Wolfson T.W.

RE: FM 7.1 Compatibility
You can't directly import Visio files because FrameMaker doesn't have a filter to convert such files to FrameMaker's limited graphics model (or for that matter to EPS). - Dov -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Shmuel Wolfson Sent: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 3:07 AM To: T.W.

Re: FM 7.1 Compatibility
Oh dear god, I'd never actually use OLE, I was just listing it as the one problem that another user was experiencing. Importing by reference is the only way to go, especially if you have to do localization. As for the hardware, we'd planned on new dual core systems and our type of software requires a kickin' video card and RAM. We are near our point in the cycle for an upgrade so it seems fairly logical. Perhaps I'll try FM on our test system first. Thanks for the input.

RE: FM 7.1 Compatibility
To be fair, I would not say that FM has always had issues with OLE but rather that OLE has always required two to tango and to tango to the same music at that! Adobe's use of OLE in FrameMaker is actually fairly stable. On the other hand, some Microsoft applications, notably Visio as a particular example, have been known to have somewhat less than robust OLE implementations. FWIW, I had some live FrameMaker documents with OLE links into Excel spreadsheets that worked like a charm all the way from FrameMaker 5.5.6 through 7.1. The only reason I don't use that OLE scenario anymore is that I don't use that document anymore! - Dov -Original Message- From: Behalf Of T.W.
